HURST, ROBINSON, and Co.'a BANKRUPTCY. A meeting was held yesterday morning before the Commis sioners at Guildhall, for the proof of debts under the Commissions against Hurst, Robinson, and Ca l as partners, and against Thos. Hurst on his separate account. Several debts were proved, and, among them, a proof was ten dared of a debt of 19,000/. (as we understood), due to the firm of Messrs. Longman, Rees, Orme, sad Co. of Paternoster-row. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Lorraine, counsel for Longman and Co. that a discovery having been made by the other partners of that firm of Mr. Thomas Hurst having engaged in some bill transactions in their names, for the benefit of the firm of Hurst, Robinson, and Co. and without their knowledge, an explanation took place between them, in consequence of which it was arranged that Mr. Thomas Hurst should leave their firm, and be paid the sum due to him on account of his capital share therein. This arrangement tytissoowillis.stityieptio effect, but Oonie time afterward the pricier. of Messrs: rongnian's house hoard that there were 10,0001. worth of bills in circulatiqn, drawn by Mr. Thomas Hurst iu their name on Hurst, Robinson, and Co. and accepted by the latter. The bankruptcy of Messrs. Hurst, Robinson, and Co. then happened, and the bills being returned to Messrs. Longman and Co. were of necessity paid by them. This was the debt, therefore, which they now sought to prove. The Attorney under the commissions opposed the right of Messrs. Longman toprove the bills under the separate commission of Thomas Hurst, on the ground that they were drawn by him in virtue of his power as a member of the firm, and that as there might be accounts between them, the balance against him could not now be proved as upon the bills, but as upon an account stated. This objection was discussed at some length, and the Cotnmis sioners ultimately decided that the bills could not be proved ac bills under Thomas Hurst's *state. The proof of the debt WAS then received under the joint estate, and that under the separate one postponed. In the course of the examination, Mr. Orme, one of the part ners of Longman and Co., was asked, whether, by a clause in the partnership deed, each of the partners were not precluded from drawing bills without the privity and consent of the firm, and be replied that there WAS such a clause. He was asked also, whether the partners of the firm of Robinson and Co. ware aware of the circumstances respecting Mr. Thomas Hurst, and he replied, that in consequence of a recent conversation he had had with two of them, he understood they were. The proof of other debts was then proceeded with, an the meeting adjourned. AFFRAY WITH POACHERS, (From the Leeds littelligencer.) Au affair of a serious nature took place in the plantations of Templenewsam, near this town, the seat of 'the Marchioness of Hertford, on Monday morning. Four prisonets have been ap prehended, and were examined at the office of Messrs. Smith and Moore, in this town, yesterday. Their names are Joseph Bainton, of Leeds, sawyer; John Jackion anti John Nunns, glass.blowers, Runlet ; and Joseph Smith, of Levis, pork-butcher. There are two others of the name of Robinsmb brothers, one of whom re sided in Mabgatc, and the other at New-road-end, and who have absconded. The following is thesubstance of the evidence given by two of the principal witnesses examined before the Magis trates : Thomas Phillips, assistaut gamekeeper at tesripletiewsam, on Monday morning, the Pith of December, went out into the park Ten pies belonging to the MarchionesseUffertford; tweets one said two p'cleek ha consequence of beating guns fired, and went in *Ara Ofpo!tehers with Thermo; Shaw, Robert Shaw, John Shaw, James Pennington, Joseph Hebdin, and Reuben Phillips. After they went out they heard more guns tired twelve or thirteen times, in the north plantation of the park, whew the firing ceased ,for some time, and then began in a plantation called the old gravel walk, situate in the pleasure grounds. lie and his party laid in wait for the poachers, and expected to bear them fire again ; but afterwards pursued them across the park, and met with them iu Edward Phillip 's close, and' went up to them, when they swore that they would blow his brains nut (he being the foremost of his party) if he did not stand back. lie said, " Friends, mind what you are going to do." They still persisted in the same language, and John Jackson then said he would blow his brains out if he slid not stand farther back, and put his gun up to his shoulder, pointed it, and swore he would blow witness's brains out. During this time the moon was shining bright, and Jackson, who was nearest to him, was about five yards distant. Witness had a slog in a string, which he let go at them, saying the word " altogether" to the dog, and immediately the whole of the poachers, eight in number, of whom Jackson was one, cried out, " shoot the dog," and isn mediately a gun was fired at the dog by Jackson. One of the poachers, dressed in a dark-eoloured coat, then fired at his (Phil. lips s) party, which was returned by the keepers, wise followed them, and found a spring-gun belonging to the Marchioness of liertford, which had been seen a few slays before in the gravel. walk plantation, near the spot where the poachers had been stand ing. lie also found three pheasants recently killed, and quite warm, on the ground. lie saw one of the poachers have a pil low-slip upon his back, full of something, with which they got away. Jackson had a velveteen dark-coloured jacket on, and the witness swore to Jackson from his size, dress, and voice, being so near him, and the moon shining so bright. The affray took place between four and five o'clock. John Pemberton Heywood, E 4., appeared as steward to the Marchioness of Hertford. The prisoners, Bainton, Jackson, Nouns, and Smith, were committed to Wakefield House of Correction, to take their trials at Wakefield Sessions. An application was made to admit them to bail, which was refused by the Magistrates. ANOTHER. AZTRAY.—On the morning of yesterday week, two gamekeepers, in the service of Henry Simons, Esq. of Tyersall House, near Bradford, were on the look-out in the preserve ad jacent to the house, where they observed nine or ten men, whom they immediately followed and mune up with; one of the keepers remonstrated with them, upon which the forenusit of the poachers called to his companions, and s a id, " Bring that gun here ; we'll shoot him." The gamekeepers turned reurul to leave the wood, w h en one of the poachers fired, but without effect. The conduct of the keepers, considering the inequality of the match, was firm and temperate. A man in a wounded state has been discovered in the neighbourhood, but there is sonic difficulty iu connecting him with the present transaction. WINTER ASSIZES. KINGSTON, Dientsut ft.

VICE•CHANCI?LLOR'S COURT. PATTEN P. SMITH. Mr. WILBKAIIAM moved for the payment of a sum out of Court, to a Mr. Nathaniel Maori, to be by him divided among the claimants under the will of the testator. The amount paid into Court was 4,0001. ; but it had dwindled, by law calumets, into little more than 2,000/. The above sum was left by the testator, to be divided amongst such of his relations as were not removed beyond cousins in the fourth degree. These amounted to no lest a number than 248, giving between 9/.-and 10/. as the share of each party intitled. As the expencee of individual ap plications of the Court would swallow up the entire fend, 108 of the claimants had assigned their shares to Mr. Nason. The re maining claimants happened to be all infants; and the object of the present application was, that his honour would grant the re quisite order, without the. appearance of the infante. The Vrcr-Cnaricyr.Loa granted the order, upon condition of security from Mr. Nason, that the money should be distributed according to the direction of the will. The Court rose at ten minutes btfure four o'clock for the holidays. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WasTsllt4rrsa, Dec. 22. (Sittings before the CHIEF Junlce and Common Juries.) sournint V. JOLIFFE. This was an action in damages against the defendant, for re paration of - an injury sustained by the plaintiff's barge, in being run down by the defendant's steam-boat, in the river Thames, on the 17th of June last. Mr. Wetherell, a barge-builder, valued the necessary repairs to the barge after the accident, at 40/. It was proved the plaintiff had paid fur the barge SO/. before he made any repairs upon it. William Seeker saw the defendant on the subject. This latter thought 5/. enough for the injury done, which the plaintiff re fused to take. The plaintiff, however, offered, if he got 201., to take the barge and acquit the defendant. Robert Talbot bought the barge, in a broken state, for 15!. Mr. Puller said the barge, before the accident, was worth forty pounds. Mr. Poi.t.ocK, in his address to the Jury, admitted the de fendant's liability to pay something, but contended that he had carved out for himself the sure which, in his own opinion, would indemnify him—namely, 20!., a sum to which the Jury ought not to accede. The Loan CHIEF Jusrius was about to sum up to the Jury, when the Foreman said it was unnecessary, and after a little heal tation,:they found for the plaintiff, damages, 281. COURT OF REQUESTS, SountwAnK, Drc. 22. LOYD V. JIDNT. This day Mr. Henry Hunt, the late candidate for Somerset., shire, appeared'as defendant in the Court of Requests, in the Bo rough of Southwark, to a claim made by a person named Loyd, of Ms. for a die, alleged to have been ordered by Mr. Hunt, having upon it the words " Hunt's Water-proof Paste Blacking, 62, Broad-wall, London." The defence was, that Mr. Hunt did not give the order for a die, but for a punch, and, therefore, as the plaintiff had mistaken the order, Le might nut to recover the amount of the charge. Mr. Loyd on Thursday fortnight, called upon Mr. Hunt to re ceive instructions to cut a die for the purpose of labelling 'wine small tin-boxes of blacking; and having received the order (a verbal one), he a few days afterwards took home the die in ques tion. [lt was here produced, and handed to the Commissioners.] Mr. Hunt then inquired how it was to be used, and on being told that it could not be used except by means of a machine, he re fused to take it. Mr. Hunt did not give the order, but his foreman, who bad some acquaintance with Mr. Loyd, made the arrangement.. It was, however, tiue, that on the plaintiff taking home the dia. h e (Mr. Hunt) refused to have it, inasmuch as it was not what he wanted. The conversation that he had with Mr. Loyd, .p r evious to the die being delivered, was, th a t i t was to he suc h an instru ment that would stamp the implosion ve r y eas ily. Mr. Hunt was not awar e o f t h e nature of a die, and he sap' posed that it was to have b een a stamp or punch. With respect to what passed previous t o t h e p l a i nt i ff ' s convers ing with him, two witnesses were now in a tt en d ance , w h o wou ld satisfactorily prove that the plaintiff had mistaken the order. Thomas Davis described to the plaintiff what was wanted, with a view of producing the improsio n o n the Of the i s • The article was to be a punch, and it was to hash sty Una* Oa* a boy might make the impression.

This had been Writ° Mr. Dixon, awl Nu l they were to bid defiance to the ward.....(Cries of " No, no.") Mr. Dix never midway thing like it.: Mr. say that words to that sleet escaped the lips of that Gentleman, and I say further, that it was declared by others of the Common Council, that such was the understanding amongst them.—(Hear, hear.)—lfe declared : that the port of London had been managed in a most disgraceful manner by the Corporation of London for the last century.—(Cbeers.) Mr. Deputy SKIPPER returned thanks to the inhabitants (whom he had not canvassed) for the station which they hid given him on the poll. Mr. CA 't;THORN, for one, humbly considered lighting and watching, and protecting property at home, was a duty which came before that which most men would exercise, namely—of trying what could be got from abroad.—(Applause.) Alr. ROBERT SMITH spoke with great warmth in reply to the attack made on the Common Council, for neglecting the commer cial interests of the city. Redeclared, for himself, that be had laboured for seven years to keep the commerce of the port to the legal quays. In the same manner he bad opposed the forMation of the London and St. Katherine's Ducks, which were injurious alike to the ward, and to thy Citizens of London. " No, no ;' not to the Citizens of London," exclaimed one of the meeting. Mr. then, to this ward. I hays always en. deavoured to promote its particular interests. Mr. Hats., in explanation of the alleged inconsistency of his conduct, was far from being one of those 'mistaken individuals who thought that the interest of the ward or of the city, lay in main taining high charges, even with a reduced commerce. Hs was not one of this school, old though it was. Hs was for extending commerce by means of reduced charges.

ED rronLit - - having been represented that the Commander-in-Chief has under consideration various improvements for the benefit of Officers in the Line, permit me, through the medium of your respectable Journal, to draw the attention of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to Subalterns of Mi litia, to which I am induced, from my long and practi cal knowledge of the subject, supported by the most enlightened opinions. The increasing deficiency of Captains during the trainings is much to be lamented, and the difficulty during the war to procure qualified persons for that rank was likewise much felt, and pro duced a deviation from the Militia Laws, granting a dispensing power to Lord Lieutenants upon the clause relating to property : but subalterns so promoted for feit the peace allowance : this, however, creates a pre cedent for its further amelioration, by enabling with private Gentlemen, Lieutenants to be eligible for that station, without endangering the disembodied pay. Such a popular and beneficial measure would procure experienced Officers for the vacant Companies, now liable to be supplied by both unqualified and undis ciplined civilians, and rescind the anomaly of preclud ing preferment, however desirable, except by a great pecuniary sacrifice ; nor would its adoption in the slightest degree affect the revenue. Another essential improvement would be granting the Brevet rank of Captain to Senior Lieutenants, and if of 21 years standing, serving in the war, and holding no other regimental appointment, an encreased shilling per day, peace allowance, and sixpence ditto when called out ; and to all Subalterns of a similar standing and service, Ste. sixpence per diem, disembodied pay, leaving to ma turer observation the propriety of its extension to ac tual duty. The expellee attending such improveme n t, may be estimated under 3,000/. per annum, a sum too trivial to be placed in competition with its advantages. There is a further subject of some importance, that of the advancing age and infirmities of subalterns, inca pacitated from service, thereby adding to the duty of others, to remedy which and render the Militia more effective it might be adopted, that such gentlemen . after attaining the age of 60 or under, be permitted to retire upon peace establishment, if entitled by service in the war, upon certificates from Colonels, and the Medical staff declaring such incapability, which would be unattended with expellee and the advantage of Regiments being completed with efficient officers, and removing the embarrassment of the Military authori ties, who are now induced, from motives of humanity, to retuni them upon the sick list instead of unfit for service. An admission of exchange through the re commendation of commanders, and by preferment upon the approval of Lord Lieutenants, with a continuation of the Militia allowance, would be a most judicious arrangement, tending to the residence of officers in the counties where their families and interests are located, instead of living in direct opposite parts of the British Isles, benefice' in case of emergency for assembling, increase the attendance upon trainings, remove the impropriety of obtaining leave under plea of indispo sition, or other causes to prevent travelling charges, great distances, and also contribute to the unanimity of corps and the national expenditure by Commission Stamps. Other arguments might be adduced, but I conceive the foregoing amply sufficient to insure atten tion, and appreciate the subject : while I have as con sistently as possible refrained from trespassing upon the policy or spirit of the Militia Laws, or the patronage of the Lieutenancy, whose powers would be rather ex tended than abridged by these regulatiens being effected. I remain, Sir, respectfully, Your very obedient servant, Southampton. HENRY STANTON. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. COUNTRY DIARY, WZDNE4DAY, Dax. !7.

Mr. Taylor said, the parcel in question was brought by the porter on Saturday last, who demanded 4d. as his porterage. The 4d. was tended to him, but he refused to part with the par cel, unless a charge of 4.. Bd. on a parcel delivered on a previous day, the propriety of whirls charge was in dispute, was Aril paid. This mode of recovering au exorb►tant demand, in Plato of sum limning the party refusing to pay before a Magistrate, Mr. Taylor resisted, and the porter carried away the parcel again, and it still remained at the inn. A clerk to Aleuts. Watson and Broughton, Solicitors, pot in. on :the part of the defendants, a copy of their ordinary tickets. which contained a notice, that all goods delivered to be carried would be considered as general liens, and subject, nut only for tits money due fur the carriage of such goods, but also to any general balance due to the proprietors of the conveyance. Mr. Taylor was determined to try the question, wheal% the innkeeper had aright to detain parcels, till whatever be chose to demand was paid ; but, whether he should try it by information or action, he could not say at present.

The Earl of Be!find stated, that as he was going out of toil!, in passing through the library he alibied the desk; at find ho thought her Ladyship had sent for it, and yet thought it too cum bersome for her use; he asked the butler to see for it, end not hearing any thing of it, desired the house to be searched, and eventually sent the butler for an officer. About a fortnight egos h e discharged saute of the eervauta, and among than, 3481.1 Baldwin.
